That’s why people started cheering “SEC! SEC!” instead of “OVERRATED! OVERRATED!” Coach call stopped the crowd from shouting overrated, so they went with the conference, lol.
The 2003 and 2004 teams imo, are the best passing UK teams i’ve ever watched. This one is the best since however. Most of tubby’s teams passed the ball well. But that core of Hayes, Fitch, Daniels and Hawkins was just phenomenal at half court ball movement.
Amen. Sure does feel like it. When we get our big guys back, this team is gonna roll. Heck, they're already on a roll without the big 3. Theyre gonna be a problem for alot of teams they play against.
Was at the game tonight and the atmosphere tonight was different than anything else I’ve experienced it wasn’t just old season ticket holders clapping their hands lol it was UK fans who were passionate about their team and in the game until the final whistle! Also had plenty of Miami fans who were around us and told me they were absolutely blown away by Rupp and the look of the arena and how it had an “nba type feel” that’s what’s its all about! Great experience all around and what a game! Go cats!!
Had a dream a few months ago that Kentucky would win the national championship this year. Just as the world once again is saying freshman cannot make up a top team…. Reminiscent
First big win keep scoring on offense and be consitent. Now get the bigs back and protect the rim and rebound the ball better. This team is special on offense since 17 10
Rob needs more minutes the offense flows better when. Rob and Reed are playing off each other. Rob could avg 23pts a game but doesn’t get as much time.
Good win by UK but that Miami team is way over ranked because that is not the same Miami team from last year…they lost players to the NBA…The same thing was done to UNC last year being put number 1 overall at the beginning of the season and we lost one our best players at the end of that season before…This UK team wouldn’t have beat that Miami team last year with the scorers they had then…
I agrée Miami was overrated. And they did lose their top 2 scorers from last season. But they also brought back over half their scoring and minutes played which is pretty good. That said they were overrated last season too. Even after their run to the final four they still only finished 24th in adjusted efficiency margin. The same thing happened to UNC. People give too much credit for fluky tourney runs. Lots of teams make the final four that just weren’t very good because they get a lucky draw or just catch fire for a few games. That’s why it always makes me laugh when people declare a team “final four caliber”. The real question is are they a title contender. Making a final four doesn’t necessarily mean you were a contender. Last season no one was winning that final four except Uconn. None of the other 3 were beating that team. Usually once you get to that point the best team left standing wins it.
People might hate this but in some way I feel like this team could be better without Wagner. DJ is a beast when UK plays mediocre or lower level teams but it’s a good team he stops the ball. If he can’t beat u off the dribble then he isn’t the most reliable shooter. I much prefer the Rob and Reeves backcourt.
Reed is a better PG than DJ but we still need DJ to perform at an elite level. We need solid performers and backups at all levels to be an elite team. I can't wait to see what we look like when Bradshaw comes into the mix.
Reed has been the best player on the team so far. It’s not even debateable. He’s been our +/- leader in nearly every game. He’s along the nations leaders in box +/-
@@michaeljmobley yeah i hear you that kansas game just left a very bad impression of Dj when he plays good defenders. Every time he was on the court the ball was not moving the same. Reed is the guy right now no doubt i think the 3 guard lineup with him Rob and reeves should be starting. Dj needs to let the game come to him more
